Administrative history
Crescent United Church began its life as a "Union" church. While the property was held by the Presbyterian Church when it was organized in 1920, it was a community effort with people from several denominations active in the development of the congregation. In June 1922, the new church was dedicated. With church union in 1925, Crescent Union Church became Crescent United Church and also became part of White Rock Pastoral Charge. This continued until 1952 when it became an independent Crescent Pastoral Charge. On July 1, 2017, Crescent United amalgamated with First United Church (White Rock, B.C.) and Sunnyside United Church (Surrey, B.C.) to form Peninsula United Church.
